I saw this cute skeleton butler and maid at Zgallerie, price wasn't so bad for $15 each, but, like anyone, I haunted, I mean hunted for a cheaper version. And as luck would have it, I found the exact similar one in BIGLOTS for $7 !!!! Thats $8 more in my pocket! Yehey!

Ever since I came to the US, Halloween has always been a favorite in our household. I mean, we don't even decorate anymore for fall or thanksgiving! It's halloween then Christmas. As soon as September hits, all my halloween paraphernalia are out! And I decorate little by little.

THE STAIRS - if your fortunate enough to own a staircase, don't miss out on decorating this spot. This stairway is very chic, hauntingly stylish and easy to clean-up! If you happen to own a pumpkin patch, this is the decor for you! Spray away girl!

THE MANTLE - again, if your fortunate to have this at your home, definitely "a must" spot for Halloween decorating. The 1st example is more to adult liking - spookily gorgeous. The 2nd one is for your little kiddies delight.

THE TABLE (I mean Party table) - this is where you can go all out, because of all the beautiful candies available, decorating a party table or treat table is oh so fun!!! Bring out your candy jar and start filling them in!

I went to my local "Hobby Lobby" to return something, and being the shopper that I am, I scoured around the store for some great deals, and lo and behold I found these...

They are ceramic letter knobs on CLEARANCE (ding!ding!ding!) for $1.36 each + another 50% discount (ding!ding!ding!) = 0.67 cents each O(ka-ching!)!!! I grabbed 6 and I'm already pondering on my next DIY project.

I'm thinking something for my kids room or for my own! So excited because they are beautiful and usually expensive! I will post my project once I get to it!

Finally, after months of contemplating, I am launching my very own blog!!!!!

Woohoo! Yippee!!! Wooppeedooo!! Hurrah!!! Hurray!!! Mabuhay!!!!

I'm really not sure what I want to accomplish or do with this thing, but what I know for sure is that I want this to be like an online journal of my thoughts, ideas ( lots of online photos for sure), and everything I love ( or maybe not so much love) about my life ( and others). I know someday, when my kids are old enough ( or interested enough)

Loves of my life - yes, including Woody and Buzz :-)

there's a possibility that they'll read this. And so, I want them to know that their mom was not just "a Mom" or a "honey" to their dad, or a "Dr. Criste" to her patients, but also her own person, with lots of zest for life, strong interests (and obsessions on home decorating) and most of all, I hope this blog will be a manifesto of what I hope, will be a continually good, happy and blessed life!!!!!!
